MEDIA REVIEWS
"Packed with an exciting variety of poems for children by a top team of fantastic poets."
"The theme of change threads through the 43 poems in this charmingly illustrated little book. Each of its contributors presents one of their own poems,alongside one of their favourite classic poems. You can flip from a Yeats (He mourns for the Change that has come upon him and his Beloved and longs for the End of the World) to Abigail Parry's Instructions for Not Becoming a Werewolf. Irresistible,for all ages."
